Description:gnome 3.4 is not working. GDM have lost the gnome 3 theme and it's back to the normal 2 one. Also when I try to login the screen is stuck to show me just the desktop with mouse. No nautilus or the interface loads at all.

Additional info:

gnome 3.4.1-1 packages

This behaviour is after an upgrade of gnome packages.

You should reinstall gcr, somehow these libraries got lost on your system.

Ok I will check it when I get back from work, later today. Thanks

I had this exact same problem on two of my machines, the problem appeared after I installed updates last night.
Reinstalling gcr fixed the problem on both machines.

What did you use to update? gcr used to be included in gnome-keyring, but has been moved to its own package.

The way I did it was:
pacman -Suyy but stopped it because it was a bit upgrade. Then I did upgrade only the gnome part:
pacman -Su gnome

From that point after it was broken. I made after many pacman -Suy without any success.
Finally as suggested I tried:
pacman -S gcr but I cannot test it because I am remotely connected now (through ssh)

I will test after work.

If it's a new package it should have been updated independently from gnome-keyring or gnome related packages.
